Күн бұрын"King Kong" made a huge splash when the movie character first appeared on screen back in 1933 and it’s remained a part of global pop culture ever since, showing up in sequels and big-budget remakes over the decades. His latest incarnation puts the giant ape somewhere both new and familiar in New York City. Jamie Wax reports.

Warren McFadden the 2003? Revival had nice puppets but to push this show over the edge, you would need something of this scale. The problem with Kong is they built a musical around a puppet. Little shop is already a great show and deserves a puppet of this scale.

Technology means nothing without a great script and perfect casting and if it's a musical, the score and songs and choreography have to be outstanding and reflect the time that the story is set in. If all you can talk about is the puppet,then the production has not met the criteria for a great Broadway show.

Though the puppet is gorgeous and very awe-inspiring to watch, the rest of the show just falls flat. Sure, it's not horrible, the vocalists are all good and the acting is okay, but it just seems so bland. Sure, the puppet is amazing, but what is that without a story and music to match? I've seen community productions of Little Shop of Horrors that inspire more emotion than this show, despite having Audrey II puppets made of cheap foam and leaves from a local craft store, even though the puppets may have been poorly built and barely technically advanced at all, the passion and love that was obviously put into it made the audience forget all about the looks puppets. But with this show it almost feels as though they poured all of their effort into the puppet and then just stopped. It seems like the actual show itself is just an after thought, nothing more than an excuse to display the puppet.
